GPM NZ Support Centre - Running GPM on a non-Windows device

Issue

Gensolve Practice Manager cannot be installed/does not work on a non-Windows device.

Reason

Gensolve Practice Manager can only run natively on a Windows environment. Gensolve Practice Manager can be installed within a virtual system on an iMac or a Mac laptop, but you cannot do the same on an iPad as they don't have the required processor a desktop or laptop has.

Solution

1. Amazon WorkSpace is a fully managed desktop computing service in the cloud. It allows customers to easily provision cloud-based desktops that allow end-users to access applications, such as GPM, with the device of their choice, including laptops, iPad, Kindle Fire, or Android tablets.

2. VMWare Fusion is a way of running GPM within a non-Windows environment using technology referred to as "virtualisation". This virtualisation product allows Windows to run alongside your existing operating system.

3. VMWare Parallels allows you to use Windows side-by-side with OS X on your Mac and use GPM within a non-Windows enviroment by creating a virtual machine (eg: Parallels) and installing Windows into it.
